Pay for What You Get

Work ourselves, fingers to the bone
suck the marrow, drain my soul
pay your dues and your debts
pay your respects, everybody tells you
you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you
I've lost mine

Words, words, words, have you heard?
a bird in hand is much better than
any number free to wander
fly away, stay
you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
is she really all she says?
everybody asks me how she's doing
since she went away
I couldn't tell you
I'm okay
I'm okay, hey
go away

Surprise, surprise
you pay for what you get
you pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
has she really lost her
everybody asks me how she's doing
since she went away
I said, I couldn't tell you
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay, how are you?
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Pay for what you get
pay for what you get, oh
pay for what you get
pay for what you get, oh
